Plot_ForcDistr

Purpose

plots internal force distribution for truss and frame elements in ElemList

Synopsis

Plot_ForcDistr (Model,ElemData,Post,Component,ElemList,UserScale)

Description

PLOT_FORCDISTR plots internal force distribution for truss and frame elements in ElemList
  PLOT_FORCDISTR (MODEL,ELEMDATA,POST,COMPONENT,ELEMLIST,USERSCALE)
  function plots the distribution of the internal force identified by COMPONENT
  for the truss and frame elements in ELEMLIST in the current window; the model information
  is available in data structure MODEL and the element properties in cell array ELEMDATA;
  the current response of the model is supplied in data structure POST;
  COMPONENT is a character variable with one of the following values:
  N for axial force, Mx for torsional moment, My for bending moment about y-axis
  and Mz for bending moment about z-axis; ELEMLIST is optional (default is all elements)
